Couple's matching works!!! Hurray
but it's only a year! I'm gonna be cold this year, haha but I plan to migrate someday to the heat!match, it wasn't my first choice, but it is an amazing program, just not in a geographical location i'm pumped about.
in the mean time, I'm gonna buy a parka and a jeep. hahahahhabut it's only a year! I'm gonna be cold this year, haha but I plan to migrate someday to the heat!
I'm going to be too hot and eventually try to migrate elsewhere It is only a year and overall I am happy, just not jumping up and down.but it's only a year! I'm gonna be cold this year, haha but I plan to migrate someday to the heat!

Phase I stats are posted. Not sure if people want to discuss in a separate thread, but FYI.
YOU have not failed. The system has failed you. And I'm so so sorry it did. This process sucks because it makes wonderful clinicians doubt themselves. But who, really, is a better judge of your worth as a clinician? Someone who met you for half an hour? Or all of the patients you've helped and supervisors who believe in you?wow, this makes me feel even more like a failure

I know SO many amazing applicants who didn't match their first time. It is not a reflection on you. The system is broken.
The phase II list is out. I was stunned to see that the place that I had listed as number 1 (based upon what I thought was a great interview) has an opening in phase II, this means that out of 15 applicants interviewed for 5 positions, they did not rank me at all!
Something similar happened to me as well. An APA accredited west coast VA that I ranked very high still had 4 unfilled spots!! Unbelievable. I couldn't attend the in-person interview/open house but thought I did the due diligence with phone calls. Very clear that they did NOT rank me. I still matched at a great site, but I still find it disturbing that some sites feel as though they have the luxury to toss qualified candidates to the side. Perhaps this site misjudged their own popularity?
I wonder if they've lost some funding, or if there's a glitch in the Phase II list, actually. I remember something like that happened last year. I'm also curious about the particular site you're talking about -- I got invited there last year, didn't match, and didn't get invited back this year, so I'm just wondering what's going on.
When do people usually start to hear from their new TDs? Just curious because I have anxiously been sitting by my phone but have some stuff to do!

I thought we were likely to hear between 11am and 1pm EST, but no word here so far...When do people usually start to hear from their new TDs? Just curious because I have anxiously been sitting by my phone but have some stuff to do!
I had the same experience, likely with the same VA. Fortunately, I'm very happy with another VA where I matched, but still, strange...

Got the call! It's official and wasn't some awful mistake lol! TD said they had a busy morning so thus later getting to the calls. Still kinda shocked to have matched and for this unbelievably painful process to be over but couldn't be happier! I guess now it's just wait until we start the internship....When do people usually start to hear from their new TDs?

Hahaha love this! And yeah I've already started looking at where I want to apply for post-doc... I guess the torture never endsAnd then you can soon get started on post-doc apps! ; )
Not only did I not match but 3/4 of the sites I ranked have Phase 2 openings. One has 2 openings. I'm not clear on how that works.

So I never got a call from my TD. Is this normal? Should I call or email them?
How did the VA in Tacoma end up with 4 unfilled slots? Did they get additional funding to take on more interns, or was this just a fluky year for rankings on both ends?
